Here are some rudimentary inventory lists for Cinemail, Canflix and Cyberflix, for those wanting to compare with ZIP. The downloads are text files, tab-delimited with a carriage return as the end of line, and should load easily into columns in a spreadsheet. Each line has the inventory number, title, the year the movie was releases (if available), the date I accessed the info, and an availability indicator (in some cases). [Files updated May 17, 2007]
Cinemail
There are no availability indicators in the Cinemail file, except for a couple of thousand marked "Out of Stock" where they apparently no longer own any copies (there may be others). Some of the titles are in ALL CAPS and trucated to 25 characters - apparently this is a limitation of their software in the rental store, where the data originates, and they haven't gone and expanded some of the titles (or have done so after I initially retrieved the title).
Canflix
I have two different files for Canflix. One contains the ~10000 that their availability indicators show they have. The other is about 15,000 titles that show as "Ready To Order". Some of these they may actually have - there seems to be some technical issue where items that transfer to the Blairmore video store they are associated with drop to "Ready To Order" status. It is possible that there is a significant number (maybe up to a thousand or so) that this may apply to. I've not included the video games right now.

Cyberflix
I've added the Cyberflix listing (they only have around 4000 titles), since there is no way to search their site or even browse the titles properly without signing up.
